Chanche, Bishop John Joseph, Natchez, Mississippi, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 June 1

There is a bird cage in the room Chanche occupied in Blanc's house, on the cage is a card with the address of Father Blaise Raho, C.M. . Blanc is to have it put on the Princess next Tuesday. Father Theobald Mathew left this morning for Vicksburg. Many more took the pledge than Chanche expected; he is rather pleased with Mathew and his visit. Chanche had some notion of going north this summer to see how matters were going on but believes he will give it up and take a trip to the Bay. Raho has not yet returned from his mission; Chanche can hardly expect him before July. Chanche's fine bell is up; it is loud and musical but badly hung. When Blanc gets any news about the Council, Bishops, etc., he is to let Chanche know. :: V-5-m A.L.S 2pp. 4to.
